The Technical Expert Advisory Model (TEAM) approach at Perkins is our collaborative methodology that draws on nearly 200 years of expertise. Together with you, we design tailor-made solutions to put your program, staff and leadership development on the path to excellence in education for children with multiple disabilities.
Read three examples of how effective teacher professional development practices are being used in three GPE partner countries.
Model programs provide top-quality services and play an important role in expanding services by demonstrating best practices and showing others what is possible for children with multiple disabilities.
Perkins offers a roadmap and technical support for programs aspiring to become models. This includes holistic program evaluation, leading to design and implementation of comprehensive and systematic training and coaching plans for staff and program leadership.
Quality educational programs require a committed leader who drives and supports the continual program improvement and growth. Perkins’ customized leadership development and support may include co-creating strategic plans/annual operating plans, partnering in supporting implementation and management and more.
Our tailor-made, comprehensive and systematic staff training and coaching includes onsite, online and virtual skill-based trainings; mentoring and coaching; focused study visits; and more.
For the past 100 years Perkins has been welcoming visitors from around the world to share and learn. We invite you to join us on our historic campus in the greater effort to ensure all children, including those with disabilities, are given access to quality education.
